Cot to match birch IKEA furniture?!


Hi ladies, i've been astounded at how helpful you all when it comes to shopping! So i need help with this one - we have lots of birch (light, creamy wood effect) furniture from IKEA and we cant afford to replace it so trying to find a cot that will match. I've shopped around and cant tell the real colour of things online. There are hardly any models up the shops to compare a swatch with! Loads of the ones that claim to be beech look like pine to me on the computer! Can anyone help? IKEA do a couple of birch cots but theyre very simple looking - does anyone have one that could post a pic of it all dressed up? Thanks ladies!! x

Hey hun,
We bought the baby start cot from argos. It's VERY basic but it's beech. A friend gave us her mamas and papas furniture with junior bed so we only needed a basic cot. Tried and failed to find a maple one to match the furniture but the beech one matches just fine. X

I have the mamas and papas amelia too
I got some ikea furniture to go with it, its a perfect match but I'm sure ikea describe it as 'birch'. It was the anneboda (or something like that) wardrobe and chest of drawers if that helps.
